Name: Hollow

Real Name: Henry Vollers

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Brief history: Henry worked as a special effects expert for several movies before being injured in a pyrotechnics accident. While recovering in a hospital, he overheard a man bribe one of the doctors to not perform a lifesaving surgery on a patient. Shocked by this, Henry found out that the patient was an unconscious police officer named Kendricks who had been shot several times. Although there was nothing he could do to save the man’s life, he promised himself to find out why the Kendricks was left to die. During his research he found that the officer’s partner had been the one to bribe the doctor and that man who died had been one of the few non-corrupt officers left in the GCPD. Later, the set of a movie that Henry was working on was destroyed by a bomb, killing several of his coworkers and friends, and injuring Henry. A note was delivered to him while he recovered warning him to stop his investigation or else he would end up like Kendricks. Horrified that the people who were supposed to be protecting the city were no better than the criminals they supposedly punished, and angered by the deaths of his friends, Henry decided that if he couldn’t rely on any else to look after the city then he would do it himself and he would do anything in his power to keep more innocents from dying. 

Personality: Henry is a well-meaning sort of person. He’s quick to lend a hand even if it will land him in bigger trouble. He tends to be reasonable and likes to think things through, although he will acknowledge that there are times when action, not planning, is needed. However, when confronting criminals Henry shows a different side of himself. Inspired by Batman, and even the villain Scarecrow, Henry loves causing his opponents to feel fear, not only because it makes them more likely to make a mistake, but also because he wants them to know how the everyday people of Gotham feel. 

Flaws: Ever since the event at the hospital Henry has lost his trust in authority. He now believes that any one in a position of power is only interested in furthering their own agendas, even well-meaning people such as Commissioner Gordon, and so he refuses to cooperate with them. He is also afraid of any injury that could send him to a hospital, since he could end up dying the officer did. 

Abilities and skills: Henry is in above average shape physically, however his real strength is in his equipment. While he does use a regular wooden bat for up close fighting, his year as a special effects expert have allowed him to develop several tools, as well as a good source of supplies to make his tools. He has made flash powder bombs to blind his opponents, small flares to burn someone, or provide light, and various light and sound producing objects used to trick his opponents. He also owns a motorcycle to use as transportation when he is in his Hollow persona.

Appearance: Henry is about 5’11 and of average build. He has slightly pale skin as he tends to spend most of his time working on special effects for his job, or working on tools for his nighttime outings, he has short black hair and grey eyes. He also has a few minor scars on his face and arms from various incidents over the years. As Henry he tends to wear casual, but durable clothing, usually a grey t-shirt, blue jeans and brown work boots. As Hollow, he wears an old green jacket with patches sewn on the back and arms, underneath the jacket he wears a black long sleeved shirt and worn blue pants, also with patches sewn in, to complete the scarecrow like look, he wears orange and black face paint and dyes his hair green, giving him a jack o lantern look. He also generally wears a simple black motorcycle helmet when he patrols the city.
